Did you know that more than 20 million individuals in the U.S. are involved in direct selling? The direct sales channel is more often recognized by the company brands in the industry than as a proven method for low-barrier-to-entry self-employment. The Direct Selling Entrepreneur initiative, developed by the Direct Selling Education Foundation and NACCE, seeks to increase the awareness of direct selling as an entrepreneurship strategy and a viable pathway for any individual to start their own business.

NACCE has partnered with ELI, a global thought leader dedicated to expanding human potential through entrepreneurial mindset education, and their Ice House Student Success Program, a student success course that inspires and engages new students during their first semester in college with the perseverance and determination of an entrepreneurial mindset needed to succeed academically and in life, to grow their Student Success Campaign.

Michelson 20MM Foundation

NACCE partnered with the Michelson 20MM Foundation to launch an intellectual property education pilot through ten community colleges across the country. IP curriculum covers the essentials of patents, trademarks, copyright and trade secrets. IP comprises 45 percent of the country’s total GDP today and represents 80 percent of the market value of all publicly traded companies in the United States. The goal of the pilot was to identify early IP champions in the form of one lead and nine supporting community colleges that incorporated IP education content into new or existing courses. The pilot’s lead college was responsible for developing a master syllabus and corresponding learning objectives, readings, assignments, and assessments that successfully incorporated IP education into 15-20 percent of the overall course content. The nine supporting colleges adopted and/or adapted these materials for their respective courses. The pilot program began in December 2016 and is slated to grow in 2019.

National Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education

NACCE and The National Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education (Entre-Ed) have partnered through Entre-Ed’s America’s Entrepreneurial Schools Initiative (AES), a national school designation designed to drive K-12 entrepreneurship for Every Student, Every Year. The designation recognizes outstanding K-12 schools (public, private and career centers) that deliver entrepreneurship education to all students and provides best practice professional development and support across all grade levels for schools to attain this goal. NACCE is working with our community college partners who will help with outreach and implementation for schools they serve. To learn more about the AES initiative, click here.
